Extended System BIOS Area (E_0000h-E_FFFFh)
This 64 KB area (000E_0000h – 000E_FFFFh) is divided into four 16 KB segments.
Each segment can be assigned independent read and write attributes so it can be
mapped either to main DRAM or to DMI Interface. Typically, this area is used for RAM
or ROM. Memory segments that are disabled are not remapped elsewhere.
Non-snooped accesses from PCI Express or DMI to this region are always sent to
DRAM.

3.1.5
System BIOS Area (F_0000h – F_FFFFh)
This area is a single 64 KB segment (000F_0000h – 000F_FFFFh). This segment can
be assigned read and write attributes. It is by default (after reset) Read/Write
disabled and cycles are forwarded to DMI Interface. By manipulating the Read/Write
attributes, the GMCH can “shadow” BIOS into the main DRAM. When disabled, this
segment is not remapped.
Non-snooped accesses from PCI Express or DMI to this region are always sent to
DRAM.
